Artificial Intelligence and Our Lives

Defesa de Espinho5 September 2026 at 10:00

Artificial Intelligence has been around for decades, but only in the last 5 years has it spread and popularized at a rapid pace, bursting into people's lives on a personal, professional, and business level.

The article estimates that more than 80% of people with access to a computer or mobile phone have already asked at least one question to ChatGPT or similar tools. These people ended up connecting with the speed of responses and started considering these tools a more efficient way to search than traditional search engines like Google.

With the promise of saving time on non-essential tasks, users started imagining they could dedicate themselves to other more interesting activities, have more free time for personal life, family, for rest, reading, or walks.

The article mentions that the countless AI tools that already exist, many with free versions, are being very well received by the public, with the marketing and communication from their creators and investors contributing to this growing adoption.
